The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Mauritius has seen a noticeable rise, ending December 2025 at 4.5%. This reflects a 0.5% increase from November's year-over-year rate of 4.0%, highlighting a growing inflationary trend in the island nation. The latest data, updated as of January 9, 2026, points toward sustained economic pressure on consumer prices when compared to December of the previous year.
This climb in the CPI suggests that Mauritius is experiencing higher costs for consumer goods and services, which may impact purchasing power and economic planning. Policymakers and economists will be closely watching these figures, as they provide critical insights into inflation trends and potential future economic adjustments.
The December CPI data is a pivotal benchmark for understanding the year-over-year changes and indicates a continued inflationary pattern that may necessitate strategic economic interventions. As the Mauritian economy continues to evolve, the onus is on economic stakeholders to adapt and respond to these shifts in consumer prices to maintain economic stability.
